Past Postgraduate Workshops
On November 9th at 4.30pm (Buchanan 305) we held our first workshop. The theme was ‘Working Comparatively in Modern Languages’ in order to tap into a key skill related to the future of Modern Languages research.
Our guest speaker was Emma Bond, who is Professor of Italian and Comparative Studies at Oxford and Honorary Professor in our own School of Modern Languages. You can find out more about Professor Bond’s research here: Professor Emma Bond – St Hugh’s College (ox.ac.uk). Her most recent work Curating Worlds: Museum Practices in Contemporary Literature (forthcoming 2024) is a comparative study of curatorial practices across cultures and their reflection in literature.
Emma talked to us for a short time followed by questions, after which the session was structured around sharing our own modes of working comparatively.
